Founding Cloud Architect Equity + Salary (T.I.G.E.R.)

This is Day 1.

If you want safety and predictability, keep your current job.

If you want to build a global system that rewires how the world moves,this is your call.

The Mission:

We don't accept gridlock as inevitable. Traffic isn't a force of nature but a solvable systems problem. We're a patent-pending (202521082226), pre-seed deep-tech company building thenervous system for mobility. Hardware senses. Firmware structures.The cloud makes real-time decisionsthat keep vehicles moving smoothly and predictably. We're not hiring an employee.We're bringing on an owner.

Your Mandate: The Real-Time Brain:

As ourFounding Cloud Architect

What you'll do:

• Define the language

  of device?cloud: clear, versioned contracts for telemetry in and guidance out.

• Stand up secure ingestion

  that doesn't blink: mTLS, per-device identity, low-latency APIs, sane topic/queue design, and rate limits.

• Build the real-time engine:

  map-match GPS to roads, keep per-segment speeds fresh, detect forming jams early, and compute guidance quickly.

• Design storage that scales:

  sub-second hot state for decisions, time-series for trends, and a data lake for learning/replays.

• Operate with SLOs:

  plan latency in the low hundreds of ms, ingestion lag in seconds, graceful degradation under partial failures.

• Ship safely:

  privacy-by-design, encryption in transit/at rest, least-privilege access, auditable changes.

• Partner tightly

  with firmware and hardware so devices and cloud evolve as one (including update and fleet-health hooks).

Who You Are:

• 35 years building

  real-time, high-throughput

  platforms (IoT/telematics/streaming/adtech/fintech).
• You've designed and operated

  streaming pipelines

  and

  low-latency services

  at meaningful scale.
• Comfortable with

  IoT security

  (mTLS, per-device identity) and robust, evolvable

  data modeling

  .
• Geospatial/time-series instincts; you know how to keep data

  fresh, queryable, and cost-efficient

  .

• Founder mindset:

  first principles, write it down, measure it, fix it, own the outcome.

The Offer:

• Equity first:

  founder-level ownership.

• Salary:

  competitive pre-seed cash to cover burn; we optimize for long-term upside.

• Ownership, not employment:

  your standards will set our cloud culture for years.

• Immediate start:

  we move at maximum velocity -

  join within 7 days

  .

Apply accordingly.
